[Intro – quarantine zone] [low sterile drone] [faint ventilation hum] [distant alarm echo] [Verse 1] Cold lights flicker down the hall No one answers when I call Metal doors that won’t stay shut Something breathing in the gut [Pre-Chorus] The system says “all clear” But I can still hear fear [Chorus] It’s alive in the walls tonight In the static, in the light Every step I take alone Echoes back in broken tones I was told to stay inside But the truth is buried wide Now the silence starts to scream Nothing here is what it seems [Verse 2] Glass is dripping from the ceiling Every sound is something kneeling Files burned but not erased Something wore a human face [Pre-Chorus] The system says “all clear” But I can still hear fear [Chorus] It’s alive in the walls tonight In the static, in the light Every step I take alone Echoes back in broken tones I was told to stay inside But the truth is buried wide Now the silence starts to scream Nothing here is what it seems [Bridge – breakdown] [heartbeat rising] [distorted radio voices] Don’t open that final door We were never here before Something learned to speak my name Inside the code, inside the frame [Final Chorus – escalation] It’s alive in the walls tonight And it’s staring through my sight No escape and no control It is now inside my soul [Outro – system collapse] [alarm fading] [ventilation slows] [final breath]
